Basile <blueness@gentoo.org> +Posted: 2021-08-18 +Revision: 1 +News-Item-Format: 2.0 +Display-If-Profile: default/linux/uclibc/* + +uClibc-ng is mostly abandoned upstream, and since my RFC in Jan 2021, +no one has volunteered to step up maintenance or expressed interest in +the uClibc-ng profiles. With this announcement we last-rite the "uclibc" +profiles, which will be removed on 2022-01-01. For parties interested in +an alternative libc, consider moving to musl, which is supported. + +Gentoo continues to wholeheartedly support musl and is focusing its +efforts in that area. + +Resources: +- https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Hardened_musl +- https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/musl.git/ (overlay for patches) +- #gentoo-hardened (IRC channel on irc.libera.chat) for support and discussion |
